Your health and gum disease

Did you know that gum disease is related to other health problems?

Hello there everyone!

I am now 58 years old.

I had a heart by pass in 1999, yes I was very young to be having heart problems but, I did.

A year later I found out I had type 2 diabetes I have to take pills and give myself shots.

To make matters worst I found out that I had rheumatoid arthritis RA, a few years later. Did you know that people with RA are eight time more likely to have problems with there gums.

Inflammation play a big part in both problems..

I have the driest mouth ever, I think it because I take so many medication for all my health problems.

So having such a dry mouth raises the risk of cavities and gum disease I have lots of cavities. I am also under lot of stress and I am depressed because of my health.

Take good care of your teeth.

 Please brush your teeth and floss regularly. Rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash at least once a day. The dentist is as important as any other doctor so go see him regularly.

Do you have other health problems beside this one?
